Ten films that both won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and were nominated for a Best Picture Oscar:
- Apocalypse Now
- The Pianist
- Pulp Fiction
- Marty
- All That Jazz
- M*A*S*H
- Missing
- The Piano
- The Mission
- Taxi Driver
I remember years ago seeing Siskel and Ebert's annual Academy Awards special, and when they got around to discussing the Best Picture nominees, one of them -- Siskel, I think, but I can imagine Ebert saying it just as easily -- described that year's nominees as "four excellent films, and The Mission." That's the mark of a good one-liner, that you can still remember when and where you heard it twenty years after the fact.
